Wonder what these are...

[OrangeCones]

Only time will tell (if they hatch) what these are eh? Can detect movement so I'm hoping they are viable!

What species are in that tank?
Mystery eggs are always so exciting.

 

[OrangeCones]

Otocinclus cocama
Otocinclus vittatus
Indostomus crocodilus

Looks like snail eggs to me. I've had snails in my tank for two years, they wont go away. I;m not an expert, tho, they might be fish eggs.

The only snails in there are livebearers, so I'd doubt it. Still waiting. Several of the cocama hang out near the plants, so I'm hoping.

dang if only otos were well documented for breeding. then we could jsut search online about what oto eggs look like. I'm going to say snail for this one as well, but we can all hope for the otos. you did have them breed before after all. did you take note of what their eggs looked like?

This is the best pic I have of a prior breeding (but a different oto species). I don't have that camera anymore, but the pics I have now are thru a jeweler's loop hehe!

I dont believe they are snail egg's but i may be wrong. i have all sorts of snails in my tank that lays egg's and non of them look like that.

But only time will tell

snails of the genus Physa lay eggs that look exactly like that. I know becuase I have them in my tank. many of you guys do too, they are called the nuisance "pond" snails and are the smallish little brown snails that come in pop blooms like no other snail (except maybe ramshorns)

anyway your second pic Orange makes the eggs look the same as the ones you posted in the first post. so I think they're oto eggs now as well. congrads if they are

I've kept dwarf puffers in this tank prior to the otos joining them, and I'm pretty sure they took out all the non-MTS snails I may have had in there in over a year in there. I've not 'transplanted' any plants TO this tank (but have moved trimmings FROM it to other tanks), so no hitchhiking eggs or snails.

Once I took the puffers out (they live in a diff tank now), I then added a few MTS.

I'm not convinced they are oto eggs anymore, as they have not hatched. Perhaps non-viable eggs...dunno. The last time, they hatched on day 3. This may be another species, so I'll leave em until they hatch or dissappear. But I don't think I have oto fry in my future

thats too bad...do tell us what they were once they do hatch, ok?
